virtualbox.org

Hey,

I'm using Virtualbox 4.1.6 and installed the extension pack.
So after that typed "sudo usermod -a -G voxboxusers username" in the terminal. But windows (windows 7) still doesn't see any USB Device

I looked up so many FAQs and stuff but I couldn't find any answer, what am I doing wrong? Can anyone help

Just in case what you typed above is really what you typed. Replace <your username> with the name you use to log in. Type your user password when prompted.
You *MUST* logout and back in to the host after permissions are changed before they take effect.

thx, but of course i typed in my username and not "username"

so what i typed in was "who am i" and it showed me "jack" so i typed in "sudo usermod -a -G voxboxusers jack" and then typed in my pw

voxboxusers

That is what I was really referring to it is vboxusers and the fact that you must log off and in for permissions to take effect.

type id in a terminal will tell you if you are really in the vboxusers group.
Also VBoxManage list extpacks tells you if the Extension Pack is really installed/installed properly.

so i used that, i typed in vbox instead of voxbox, loged out and on again, still doesn't work,
when i type in id, i get this:
"uid=1000(jack) gid=1000(jack) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),105(lpadmin),119(admin),122(sambashare),123(vboxusers),1000(jack)"

does it mean i am in it? I'm sorry I'm a total noobie with linux but i don't want to switch back to windows as the main system.

in settings I can set a filter, do I have to do that? oh and virtualbox manager show that the extension is correctly installed

You shouldn't need any filters. Did you reboot the host or log out and back in?

jap a couple of times

1) Post the results of VBoxManage list usbhost from the hosts terminal
2) Make sure that you have enabled the USB2 section in the guest settings.
3) Post the guests log file (as an attachment)
